Carlik Jones, who recently signed with Partizan Belgrade, could leave the Serbian team to join an NBA team this week.
NBA insider Marc Stein tweeted about the potential move, noting that there is a brief window until Thursday for NBA teams to pursue Jones before his new deal with Partizan takes full effect.
Jones showcased his skills for South Sudan in a recent friendly game against Team USA, recording a triple-double with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists.
This performance has drawn the attention of NBA teams, increasing the likelihood of Jones securing an NBA contract.
The 26-year-old point guard played in China for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls this past season.
In his career, Jones has appeared in 12 NBA games over three years, averaging 2 points in 6.6 minutes per game.
Partizan Belgrade signed Jones last week, anticipating his contributions to their roster.
However, the opportunity to return to the NBA might be too enticing for Jones to pass up.
The Serbian side might have to adjust their plans if Jones decides to leave.
